1 Not to us, Lord, not to us

but to your name be the glory,

because of your love and faithfulness.

2 Why do the nations say,

“Where is their God?”

3 Our God is in heaven;

he does whatever pleases him.

4 But their idols are silver and gold,

made by human hands.

5 They have mouths, but cannot speak,

eyes, but cannot see.

6 They have ears, but cannot hear,

noses, but cannot smell.

7 They have hands, but cannot feel,

feet, but cannot walk,

nor can they utter a sound with their throats.

8 Those who make them will be like them,

and so will all who trust in them.

9 All you Israelites, trust in the Lord—

he is their help and shield.

10 House of Aaron, trust in the Lord—

he is their help and shield.

11 You who fear him, trust in the Lord—

he is their help and shield.

12 The Lord remembers us and will bless us:

He will bless his people Israel,

he will bless the house of Aaron,

13 he will bless those who fear the Lord—

small and great alike.

14 May the Lord cause you to flourish,

both you and your children.

15 May you be blessed by the Lord,

the Maker of heaven and earth.

16 The highest heavens belong to the Lord,

but the earth he has given to mankind.

17 It is not the dead who praise the Lord,

those who go down to the place of silence;

18 it is we who extol the Lord,

both now and forevermore.

Praise the Lord.

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,

for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!

2 Why should the nations say,

“Where is their God?”

3 Our God is in the heavens;

he does all that he pleases.

4 Their idols are silver and gold,

the work of human hands.

5 They have mouths, but do not speak;

eyes, but do not see.

6 They have ears, but do not hear;

noses, but do not smell.

7 They have hands, but do not feel;

feet, but do not walk;

and they do not make a sound in their throat.

8 Those who make them become like them;

so do all who trust in them.

9 O Israel, trust in the Lord!

He is their help and their shield.

10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord!

He is their help and their shield.

11 You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!

He is their help and their shield.

12 The Lord has remembered us; he will bless us;

he will bless the house of Israel;

he will bless the house of Aaron;

13 he will bless those who fear the Lord,

both the small and the great.

14 May the Lord give you increase,

you and your children!

15 May you be blessed by the Lord,

who made heaven and earth!

16 The heavens are the Lord’s heavens,

but the earth he has given to the children of man.

17 The dead do not praise the Lord,

nor do any who go down into silence.

18 But we will bless the Lord

from this time forth and forevermore.

Praise the Lord!

1 Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us,

But unto thy name give glory,

For thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.

2 Wherefore should the heathen say,

Where is now their God?

3 But our God is in the heavens:

He hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

4 Their idols are silver and gold,

The work of men’s hands.

5 They have mouths, but they speak not:

Eyes have they, but they see not:

6 They have ears, but they hear not:

Noses have they, but they smell not:

7 They have hands, but they handle not:

Feet have they, but they walk not:

Neither speak they through their throat.

8 They that make them are like unto them;

So is every one that trusteth in them.

9 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord:

He is their help and their shield.

10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord:

He is their help and their shield.

11 Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord:

He is their help and their shield.

12 The Lord hath been mindful of us: he will bless us;

He will bless the house of Israel;

He will bless the house of Aaron.

13 He will bless them that fear the Lord,

Both small and great.

14 The Lord shall increase you more and more,

You and your children.

15 Ye are blessed of the Lord

Which made heaven and earth.

16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s:

But the earth hath he given to the children of men.

17 The dead praise not the Lord,

Neither any that go down into silence.

18 But we will bless the Lord

From this time forth and for evermore.

Praise the Lord.

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us,

but to your name goes all the glory

for your unfailing love and faithfulness.

2 Why let the nations say,

“Where is their God?”

3 Our God is in the heavens,

and he does as he wishes.

4 Their idols are merely things of silver and gold,

shaped by human hands.

5 They have mouths but cannot speak,

and eyes but cannot see.

6 They have ears but cannot hear,

and mouths but cannot breathe.

7 They have hands but cannot feel,

and feet but cannot walk,

and throats but cannot make a sound.

8 And those who make idols are just like them,

as are all who trust in them.

9 O Israel, trust the Lord!

He is your helper and your shield.

10 O priests, descendants of Aaron, trust the Lord!

He is your helper and your shield.

11 All you who fear the Lord, trust the Lord!

He is your helper and your shield.

12 The Lord remembers us and will bless us.

He will bless the people of Israel

and bless the priests, the descendants of Aaron.

13 He will bless those who fear the Lord,

both great and lowly.

14 May the Lord richly bless

both you and your children.

15 May you be blessed by the Lord,

who made heaven and earth.

16 The heavens belong to the Lord,

but he has given the earth to all humanity.

17 The dead cannot sing praises to the Lord,

for they have gone into the silence of the grave.

18 But we can praise the Lord

both now and forever!

Praise the Lord!

1 Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us,

But to Your name give glory,

Because of Your mercy,

Because of Your truth.

2 Why should the Gentiles say,

“So where is their God?”

3 But our God is in heaven;

He does whatever He pleases.

4 Their idols are silver and gold,

The work of men’s hands.

5 They have mouths, but they do not speak;

Eyes they have, but they do not see;

6 They have ears, but they do not hear;

Noses they have, but they do not smell;

7 They have hands, but they do not handle;

Feet they have, but they do not walk;

Nor do they mutter through their throat.

8 Those who make them are like them;

So is everyone who trusts in them.

9 O Israel, trust in the Lord;

He is their help and their shield.

10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord;

He is their help and their shield.

11 You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord;

He is their help and their shield.

12 The Lord has been mindful of us;

He will bless us;

He will bless the house of Israel;

He will bless the house of Aaron.

13 He will bless those who fear the Lord,

Both small and great.

14 May the Lord give you increase more and more,

You and your children.

15 May you be blessed by the Lord,

Who made heaven and earth.

16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s;

But the earth He has given to the children of men.

17 The dead do not praise the Lord,

Nor any who go down into silence.

18 But we will bless the Lord

From this time forth and forevermore.

Praise the Lord!

1 It does not belong to us, Lord.

The glory belongs to you

because of your love and loyalty.

2 Why do the nations ask,

“Where is their God?”

3 Our God is in heaven.

He does what he pleases.

4 Their idols are made of silver and gold,

the work of human hands.

5 They have mouths, but they cannot speak.

They have eyes, but they cannot see.

6 They have ears, but they cannot hear.

They have noses, but they cannot smell.

7 They have hands, but they cannot feel.

They have feet, but they cannot walk.

No sounds come from their throats.

8 People who make idols will be like them,

and so will those who trust them.

9 Family of Israel, trust the Lord;

he is your helper and your protection.

10 Family of Aaron, trust the Lord;

he is your helper and your protection.

11 You who respect the Lord should trust him;

he is your helper and your protection.

12 The Lord remembers us and will bless us.

He will bless the family of Israel;

he will bless the family of Aaron.

13 The Lord will bless those who respect him,

from the smallest to the greatest.

14 May the Lord give you success,

and may he give you and your children success.

15 May you be blessed by the Lord,

who made heaven and earth.

16 Heaven belongs to the Lord,

but he gave the earth to people.

17 Dead people do not praise the Lord;

those in the grave are silent.

18 But we will praise the Lord

now and forever.

Praise the Lord!

1 Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us,

But unto thy name give glory,

For thy lovingkindness, and for thy truth’s sake.

2 Wherefore should the nations say,

Where is now their God?

3 But our God is in the heavens:

He hath done whatsoever he pleased.

4 Their idols are silver and gold,

The work of men’s hands.

5 They have mouths, but they speak not;

Eyes have they, but they see not;

6 They have ears, but they hear not;

Noses have they, but they smell not;

7 They have hands, but they handle not;

Feet have they, but they walk not;

Neither speak they through their throat.

8 They that make them shall be like unto them;

Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

9 O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah:

He is their help and their shield.

10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah:

He is their help and their shield.

11 Ye that fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah:

He is their help and their shield.

12 Jehovah hath been mindful of us; he will bless us:

He will bless the house of Israel;

He will bless the house of Aaron.

13 He will bless them that fear Jehovah,

Both small and great.

14 Jehovah increase you more and more,

You and your children.

15 Blessed are ye of Jehovah,

Who made heaven and earth.

16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah;

But the earth hath he given to the children of men.

17 The dead praise not Jehovah,

Neither any that go down into silence;

18 But we will bless Jehovah

From this time forth and for evermore.

Praise ye Jehovah.

1 Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth’s sake. 2 Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God? 3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased. 4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands: 5 They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not; 6 They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not; 7 They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat. 8 They that make them are like unto them, —every one that confideth in them.

9 O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield. 10 House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield. 11 Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield. 12 Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron; 13 He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great. 14 Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children. 15 Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth. 16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men. 17 The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence; 18 But we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!

1 Don’t give glory to us, O Lord. 

Don’t give glory to us. 

Instead, give glory to your name 

because of your mercy and faithfulness. 

2 Why should other nations say, “Where is their God?” 

3 Our God is in heaven. 

He does whatever he wants. 

4 Their idols are made of silver and gold. 

They were made by human hands.

5 They have mouths, but they cannot speak. 

They have eyes, but they cannot see. 

6 They have ears, but they cannot hear. 

They have noses, but they cannot smell. 

7 They have hands, but they cannot feel. 

They have feet, but they cannot walk. 

They cannot ⸤even⸥ make a sound with their throats. 

8 Those who make idols end up like them. 

So does everyone who trusts them. 

9 Israel, trust the Lord. 

He is your helper and your shield. 

10 Descendants of Aaron, trust the Lord. 

He is your helper and your shield. 

11 If you fear the Lord, trust the Lord. 

He is your helper and your shield. 

12 The Lord, who is ⸤always⸥ thinking about us, will bless us. 

He will bless the descendants of Israel. 

He will bless the descendants of Aaron. 

13 He will bless those who fear the Lord, 

from the least important to the most important. 

14 May the Lord continue to bless you and your children. 

15 You will be blessed by the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. 

16 The highest heaven belongs to the Lord, 

but he has given the earth to the descendants of Adam. 

17 Those who are dead do not praise the Lord, 

nor do those who go into the silence ⸤of the grave⸥. 

18 But we will thank the Lord now and forever. 

Hallelujah! 

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,

for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness.

2 Why should the nations say,

“Where is their God?”

3 Our God is in the heavens;

he does whatever he pleases.

4 Their idols are silver and gold,

the work of human hands.

5 They have mouths, but do not speak;

eyes, but do not see.

6 They have ears, but do not hear;

noses, but do not smell.

7 They have hands, but do not feel;

feet, but do not walk;

they make no sound in their throats.

8 Those who make them are like them;

so are all who trust in them.

9 O Israel, trust in the Lord!

He is their help and their shield.

10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord!

He is their help and their shield.

11 You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!

12 The Lord has been mindful of us; he will bless us;

he will bless the house of Israel;

he will bless the house of Aaron;

13 he will bless those who fear the Lord,

both small and great.

14 May the Lord give you increase,

both you and your children.

15 May you be blessed by the Lord,

who made heaven and earth.

16 The heavens are the Lord’s heavens,

but the earth he has given to human beings.

17 The dead do not praise the Lord,

nor do any that go down into silence.

18 But we will bless the Lord

from this time on and forevermore.

Praise the Lord!

1 Not to us, O Yahweh, not to us,

but to your name give glory,

because of your loyal love,

because of your faithfulness.

2 Why should the nations say,

“Where, pray tell, is their God?”

3 But our God is in the heavens;

all that he desires, he does.

4 Their idols are silver and gold,

the work of human hands.

5 They have mouths, but cannot speak;

they have eyes, but cannot see;

6 they have ears, but cannot hear;

they have noses, but cannot smell;

7 they have their hands, but they cannot feel,

their feet, but they cannot walk;

they cannot utter a sound in their throats.

8 Those who make them become like them,

as does everyone who trusts in them.

9 O Israel, trust Yahweh;

he is their help and their shield.

10 O house of Aaron, trust in Yahweh;

he is their help and their shield.

12 Yahweh remembers us; he will bless us.

He will bless the house of Israel;

he will bless the house of Aaron.

13 He will bless those who fear Yahweh,

the small with the great.

14 May Yahweh give you increase,

you and your children.

15 May you be blessed by Yahweh,

who made heaven and earth.

16 The heavens are Yahweh’s heavens,

but the earth he has given to the children of humankind.

17 The dead do not praise Yah,

nor any descending into silence.

18 It is we, we will bless Yah

from now until forever.

Praise Yah!

1 Lord, may glory be given to you, not to us.

You are loving and faithful.

2 Why do the nations ask,

“Where is their God?”

3 Our God is in heaven.

He does anything he wants to do.

4 But the statues of their gods are made out of silver and gold.

They are made by the hands of men.

5 They have mouths, but they can’t speak.

They have eyes, but they can’t see.

6 They have ears, but they can’t hear.

They have noses, but they can’t smell.

7 They have hands, but they can’t feel.

They have feet, but they can’t walk.

They have throats, but they can’t say anything.

8 Those who make statues of gods will be like them.

So will all those who trust in them.

9 People of Israel, trust in the Lord.

He helps you. He is like a shield that keeps you safe.

10 Priests of Aaron, trust in the Lord.

He helps you. He is like a shield that keeps you safe.

11 You who have respect for the Lord, trust in him.

He helps you. He is like a shield that keeps you safe.

12 The Lord remembers us and will bless us.

He will bless the people of Israel.

He will bless the priests of Aaron.

13 The Lord will bless those who have respect for him.

He will bless important and unimportant people alike.

14 May the Lord give you many children.

May he give them to you and to your children after you.

15 May the Lord bless you.

He is the Maker of heaven and earth.

16 The highest heavens belong to the Lord.

But he has given the earth to human beings.

17 Dead people don’t praise the Lord.

Those who lie quietly in the grave don’t praise him.

18 But we who are alive praise the Lord,

both now and forever.

Praise the Lord.

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us,

But to Your name give glory

Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth.

2 Why should the nations say,

“Where, now, is their God?”

3 But our God is in the heavens;

He does whatever He pleases.

4 Their idols are silver and gold,

The work of man’s hands.

5 They have mouths, but they cannot speak;

They have eyes, but they cannot see;

6 They have ears, but they cannot hear;

They have noses, but they cannot smell;

7 They have hands, but they cannot feel;

They have feet, but they cannot walk;

They cannot make a sound with their throat.

13 He will bless those who fear the Lord,

The small together with the great.

14 May the Lord give you increase,

You and your children.

15 May you be blessed of the Lord,

Maker of heaven and earth.

16 The heavens are the heavens of the Lord,

But the earth He has given to the sons of men.

17 The dead do not praise the Lord,

Nor do any who go down into silence;

18 But as for us, we will bless the Lord

From this time forth and forever.

Praise the Lord!
